First published in 2003, this novel of the American writer Dan Brown quickly became bestseller all over the world. Almost ten million copies sold, movie of the same name hitting the screens… that’s what popularity is. Though many scientists criticized the book and its author, it for sure helped to attract mass attention to myths and theories in Christian history.
Mystery is the centre of the book that unites such lines as detective thriller and conspiracy theory. The main character is Dr. Robert Langdon, a Harvard University Professor studying Religious Symbolism. One day in Louvre he finds the dead Jacques Sauniere, the museum’s curator. But not simply dead… on his naked body there was a cryptic note written with his own blood. His death is thought to be the act of forces trying to protect ancient mystery of Jesus Christ being married to Marty Magdalene.
The plot focuses on such masterpieces of Da Vinci as The Mona Lisa and Last Supper, they seem to contain clues to solving mysteries. The resolution seems to be also related to Holy Grail, strange civilization Sion's Priory and catholic association Opus Dei.
